The Dark Lord of Cuddlyness.

Toad licking.

6. Do you tip in restaurants, and if so, how much?
Only if the waitress has worked really hard to give me the impression she wants to sleep with me.

7. Who (living or dead) would be your five ideal dinner guests and why?
Bill Hicks - 'cos for once I could shut up an just listen.
Clive Barker - 'cos he's a dark genius who never fails to inspire (he can also make the pasta).
Al Pacino - top actor (probably do a mean sauce for the pasta as well).
Cheech and Chong - I know it's two guys but it wouldn't be the same without both. They can roll the after dinner treats (they're going nowhere near my kitchen).
Bertolt Brecht - I'd like to see him and Bill have a chat (he can butter the bread).
The vampire Lestat - Okay, he's technically neither alive or dead (or real) but if I could he'd be there. All that experience, not to mention his sense of humour (I think he can cook for himself).

Ready Brek / cheese on toast / half pound of lard.

17. What's the answer to life, the universe and everything?
Hmm, tough one. The meaning is different for each of us which is probably why we can't come to a consensus. Life is like a pubic hair on a toilet seat, sooner or later it gets pissed off.
